The workforce will soon be populated by a robot that can perform a variety of tasks.
The tech startup Sanctuary AI unveiled a robot that can perform many tasks in the workplace currently performed by humans. It is designed to work with or without people.
The challenge: For decades, robots have been working alongside humans. They’ve also traditionally been highly specialized. A bot on an assembly line at General Motors, for instance, may move metal pieces from one location to another repeatedly.
This meant that business owners had to buy multiple robots (often expensive) if they wanted automate several tasks.
